This year’s event will be held June 20 – 22 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It’s produced by Insomniac, a company renowned for creating massive multisensory music presentations throughout the world.

More than 400,000 people are expected to attend, which will be the largest crowd ever at EDC Las Vegas. And fans are sure to be blown away because Insomniac has planned brand new designs for Kinetic Field and the thematic stages situated throughout the grounds.

The EDC experience in Las Vegas will also be enhanced by new art installations and elevated dining options while fan favorites – like the carnival rides and roaming performers – will return.

Plus, in true Insomniac form, the lineup for EDC Las Vegas 2014 is simply fantastic. Featured acts include Afrojack, Alesso, Avicii, Bassnectar, Calvin Harris, Cedric Gervais, Gareth Emery, Hardwell, Kaskade, Paul Oakenfold, Steve Aoki and Tiësto. There will be some new faces present too, such as 17-year-old Dutch sensation Martin Garrix, who delivered an explosive set at the recent Coachella Valley Music Festival, and Mat Zo, a British producer/DJ who released his debut album “Damage Control” last year.

I’m a Las Vegas native. By profession, I write at Vegas.com. Mostly about the city’s hotels, but on other topics – gaming and transportation – too. I really love staying at hotels. And the ones here are among the biggest and best in the world. Some key things I’ve learned: Resort fees are inescapable (frustrating but true), a friendly attitude at the front desk may score you a great view and over-the-top room amenities – bath butlers, Japanese tea service, menus with “intimate” items – do exist. What else should you know about me? Well, I’m comfortable at a blackjack table. And I like eating late-night pancakes in hotel coffee shops. A lot. Follow Renee on Google+.
